Arturo Lemus Beltrán paints where classical technique meets the machine age. His hyperreal oils stage encounters between humans and robots, the digital and the painterly — surreal, sci-fi-inflected scenes shot through with glitch, reflection and unease. He uses the language of old-master realism to ask very contemporary questions about technology and the self. Five unique oil paintings are currently available at Art of NOMA, from USD 2,079 to USD 6,050.
Old-Master Technique Aimed at the Machine Age
The technical vocabulary here is deliberately borrowed: smooth modelling, controlled light, convincing volume, a finish that blurs the line between the painted and the real. What that vocabulary is pointed at is not. El Fruto Del Nuevo Edén (120 × 180 cm / 47.2 × 70.9 in, USD 6,050) takes the oldest myth about forbidden knowledge and reframes it as a question about technology, then lets reflection and digital rupture disturb the surface.
The unease is built into the precision rather than layered on top of it. The more real the scene looks, the stranger it reads — which is the opposite of how realism is usually supposed to work.
What Does Ensayo De Un Panóptico Mean?
It translates as “study of a panopticon” — the architecture designed so that anyone inside might be watched at any moment, without ever knowing when. Ensayo De Un Panóptico II (120 × 90 cm / 47.2 × 35.4 in, USD 4,158) turns the artist's lens toward surveillance and control, treating the act of being seen as both its subject and its structure. The reflections are polished and deliberate, because in a painting about watching, every reflective surface is doing work.
Glitch, Reflection and the Unease Underneath
Three recurring devices hold the body of work together. Glitch interrupts a surface that has been rendered too carefully to tolerate interruption. Reflection multiplies a figure and puts its edges in doubt. Unease is what is left once you notice both.
Descubrimiento De Un Confín Nuevo (60 × 90 cm / 23.6 × 35.4 in, USD 2,079) frames its new frontier as psychological rather than geographic — an edge where the familiar and the synthetic quietly meet. La Invitación (100 × 70 cm / 39.4 × 27.6 in, USD 2,695) keeps its gesture open and its terms unstated, which is a good deal more unsettling than resolving them would be.
Scale Changes How These Paintings Behave
At 180 cm across, El Fruto Del Nuevo Edén has room for detail to accumulate; you read it in passes, and the disturbances arrive one at a time. Contemplando Universos Internos (60 × 130 cm / 23.6 × 51.2 in, USD 3,003) does the opposite. Its tall, narrow format draws the eye vertically, so you look into the picture rather than across it — appropriate for a work whose title means “contemplating internal universes.”
Each of the five paintings is oil on canvas, unique, mounted on a professional wooden frame and supplied with a certificate of authenticity.
Where Should a New Collector Begin?
The catalogue runs from USD 2,079 to USD 6,050 without the enquiry changing character, which makes the entry point a matter of wall and appetite rather than compromise. Descubrimiento De Un Confín Nuevo is the most approachable in both scale and price; Ensayo De Un Panóptico II is the one that states the thesis most directly; El Fruto Del Nuevo Edén is the room-defining work.
Prices are published on every work at Art of NOMA — nothing is listed as price on request, and you never have to ask before knowing whether a painting is within reach. We are an online gallery with no physical space, so there is no showroom to visit and no one hovering while you make up your mind.
